Will 20x10 rims fit on the rear wheels?

I'm looking to Axis Mod Se7ens 20x9 and 20x10s with offsets of around 37 and 38 and am wondering if these will fit on my sedan. Any help would be appreciated.

I think even 9.5 is really stretching it on a sedan with rolling the fenders and what not. You could probably get a 10 to fit if you get a skinny tire...I'm not a pro so don't take my word for it.

It will fit with an offset of +45 to +48. Anything higher you will hit the suspension and anything lower you'll be too far outside the fender.

With these specs the wheel lip will be outside the fender by about 1/4". You will need a 275/30/20 tire to make it fit easier with rolled fenders.

IMHO, I would not go bigger than 9.5" in the rear with a +45 offset. Here is a pic of another sedan I found that has a 20x10 in the rear. It will give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

I dont know if this is right or not, chico correct me if i'm wrong, but i dont think a 9" wide wheel will fit up front. Mark, if i were you i'd just go with the normal 8.5F and 9.5R. Any reason you want rims this wide?

I really want some Axis Mod Se7ens and the only size the 20"s come in are 20x9 and 20x10 I might try and get 20x9s all around, I couldn't care less about a staggered setup. By the way, I'm lowered on 05 350Z springs and shocks, so I'm assuming I need to roll my fenders (which I don't mind).

If I went with Axis Mod Se7ens 20x9's all around, what would be an ideal offset and tire size?

Thanks for all the responses.

I don't think you'll be able to fit 9" wide wheels in the front.

The 9" wheels would be tough to fit on the front. It would will rub on the suspension control arm in most higher offsets, and stick out too far in lower offsets.


I am willing to say you cannot run anything wider than 8.5", and the lowest offset would be around +35.



EDIT: OK, so someone has tried it before, and it seems to have worked. I am not sure how it is possible, so good luck. I do not see how a 9" wheel with a +42 offset would not rub on the suspension, so....

not looking for flames (again)

i have 19x9 up front on my car, but as u can see i have pretty bad camber.. the offset is high.. like 40 something and tires are a lil stretched, but the 19x9 with the offsets ur talking about will probably not fit.

Ok...there is a lot of information and opinions here.

Mine is...20x8.5 +35 to +38 w/ 245/35/20 front and 20x9.5 +42 to +45 w/ 275/30/20 rear. I GUARANTEE YOU...the car will look perfect and no modifications will be required.

As for what you want...here is a link that will show you someone else put those wheels on the G. I don't know if he did any mods at all. Your best bet is to call that shop and ask them about it. They will shed more light than we can on that specific wheel and set up you're after.

Good luck.

Well since pnut actually has 9" wide wheels in front, it looks like it can be done. Is it practical? I guess pnut can answer that. Any rubbing issues pnut (fender or suspension)? Any other negatives besides the camber?

Wow....I like the Mod 7's from other photos I've seen on other cars, but those photos in that link Chico...those tires almost look too big for the sedan! (meaning not proportional and almost look bad)....super aggressive though.
